Abstract

The account of the funeral sermon of Alfonso the Magnanimous delivered in Valencia cathedral on 28 July 1458 in the Dietari del capellà d’Alfons el Magnànim refers to the king’s actes and auctoritats and therefore may offer a glimpse of his status as a rex facetus very soon after the composition of Beccadelli’s De dictis et factis regis Alphonsi Aragonum in 1455.

Keywords: Alfonso the Magnanimous, sermons, Beccadelli, De dictis et factis regis Alphonsi Aragonum, Dietari del capellà d’Alfons el Magnànim
